It's quite interesting to see the results of a recent poll on MetroTalk, where almost half of Gen-Z believe that life would be better under a dictatorship. Do you agree with our readers? We would love to hear your thoughts on this and other topics in the comments section.
It's ironic that on the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz, a poll reveals that more than half of Gen-Z believe life would be better under a dictatorship, and a third would support a military junta. It's clear that they have no understanding of the harsh reality faced by those who have lived and are still living under such oppressive regimes.
Can they really be unaware of the atrocities committed by Stalin, Hitler, Franco, and other dictators? The millions of lives lost under their rule should serve as a reminder of the dangers of living in a dictatorship. This poll only strengthens the argument against lowering the voting age to 16. These young individuals may dream of living in a dictatorship, but if they were to actually experience it, they would surely regret their choice. Bob Readman from Sevenoaks shares this sentiment.
The way Gen-Z forms their opinions is quite different from previous generations. In today's society, the person with the most extreme and often disagreeable views tends to be the loudest online. This is unfortunate for Gen-Z, as their voices may not be accurately represented.
As Dec from Essex points out, we are all living in a land of make believe right now. Gen-Z, having grown up in the age of the internet, may have more polarized views than previous generations.
There is a dangerous trend towards automation and AI in the workplace, and it's important to remember the human cost. Those who advocate for these advancements should take the time to speak with the working class individuals who have lost their jobs due to technology. These were not just "boring" jobs, as some may believe. They were jobs that put food on the table for families and supported people's dreams.
It's easy to be swayed by the promises of big tech and AI, but we must not forget that nothing in life is free. As Emilia Jones from London reminds us, "if it's free, you are the product." We must also consider the risks to human rights and privacy, as well as the potential biases of programmers, when embracing AI.
In the end, we must remember that our actions have consequences, and we should not be so quick to embrace advancements without considering the impact on society as a whole. As Geoff Moore from Highland warns, we should not be too happy about "free" AI programs, as we may end up being the ones paying the price. So let's empower ordinary people by creating and protecting their jobs, rather than empowering big tech and AI bosses. What are your thoughts on this issue? Share your opinions in the comments below.
